Provided is a thermoelectric conversion element which enables improvement in yield and durability, is easy to secure a temperature difference between the both ends and is easy to be bonded to an electrode without tilting, resulting in improvement of mass productivity. Also provided is a thermoelectric conversion module using the thermoelectric conversion element. A thermoelectric conversion element includes: a plurality of pole-shaped parts with one ends of which being electrically connected to a first electrode, and the pole-shaped-parts being arranged at an interval from each other; and a joining/connecting part joining/connecting the other ends of the pole-shaped parts together, and electrically connected to a second electrode. A connecting face of the joining/connecting part, the face being connected to the second electrode, is larger than the sum total of areas of one ends of the pole-shaped parts.
